Performance Optimization and Feature Enhancement of Construction Project Management Web Application

The client relies on a proprietary web application for managing construction project routines, including daily worker logs, task management, safety compliance reporting, and document signing. The app faces significant performance issues, such as slow load times (up to 40 seconds) when switching views, timeouts during project updates, and difficulties in rendering reports effectively on mobile devices. Additionally, the digital signing feature suffers from overlapping signatures, affecting legal validity. The existing architecture hampers timely decision-making and compliance verification at construction sites, risking safety violations and project delays.
